LOOM-TEMPLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 497,692, dated May 16,1893.

Application filed November 21, 1892. Serial No.452fl701. (No model.)

To. all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALLACE I. STIMPsoN, of Milford, county ofWorcester, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in 5Loom-Temples,of which the following description, in connection with theaccompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters andfigures onthe drawings representing like parts. This invention has for its objectto provide means whereby the roller-carrying head of a temple may beaccurately adjusted in order that the axis of rotation of the roller maystand at the desired angle with relation to warp of the cloth beingwoven, the roller requiring for the best work to occupy differentangular positions according to the work being done.

In the illustration of my invention I have chosen to show theroller-carrying head ap- 2o plied to a metal bar supported at its endsat the inner side of the breast-beam and substantially parallel thereto.

Figure 1 in plan View shows part of the breast-beam of a loom and barsupported by it, on which bar I have mounted the templehead inaccordance with my invention; Fig. 2, a partial section in the line asFig. 1, and Fig. 3, a section in the line at Fig. 2, looking down, theadjusting screws being in elevation.

In the drawings A is a breast-beam; 4 and 5 supporting plates adjustablyattached by screws a, b, respectively, to stands 2, 3 secured to theinner sideof the breast-beam; and 15 is a metal bar pivoted at 14 on thecar 12 of plate 5, the bar being shown as extended between said finger12 and a second finger 11. The opposite end of the bar 15 is slottedlongitudinally as shown at 17 by dotted lines, to 0 be entered byaprojection extended upwardly from the spring 9.

The parts so far described, are and may be the same as shown in UnitedStates Patent No. 488,916, dated December 27, 1892, where like lettersand figures are employed to designate 5 like parts.

The temple-head B carrying a toothed roller C of usual character, has atits end a transverse opening 0 concaved at one of its sides as at 0',see Fig. 3, to receive a rocking shoe c and at the opposite side of saidopening I have provided adjusting devices (I, e, shown as screws. Theset screw f enables the temple-head to be adjusted longitudinally on thebar 15. To adjust the temple-head on the 5 5 bar 15 and place the axisof rotation of the temple-roller C at the desired inclination to thewarp of the cloth being woven, the operator will turn one of the screws,as the one (1 out and the other screw 6, in, or vice versa, and in thismanner turn the temple-head in to a more or less angular position withrelation to the bar or support 15, as willbe readily understood.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

In a loom temple, a metallic bar, and a support therefor, to enable saidbar to be vibrated in ahorizontalplane between the breast beam and thelay, combined with a temple-head adapted to be adjusted laterally onsaid bar between its ends, and adjusting devices to determine theangular position of said head on said bar and with relation to the reedof the lay, as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

\VALLACE I. STIMPSON.
